Donations
We are in need of well cared for, clean, pre-loved business clothing, shoes and accessories.
You can drop off your donation at:
- The Downer Business Park reception area, 2 Bradfield St, Downer
- Woden Community Services, Corinna Street Woden
- Women’s Information and Referral Centre, 13 London Cct, Civic
Please leave ONLY good quality, clean business clothing, shoes and accessories that are suitable for interviews and work wear.
We are unable to use casual clothes, badly worn items, underwear, sleepwear or swimwear. If we receive such items, they need to be sorted and taken to another charity – just adding to our volunteers’ workload!
Disclaimer: Working Wonders (WOW) would be unable to operate without the generous support of the Canberra community and people like you. We greatly appreciate your contributions. In some instances however, donations to this organisation may not be suitable for our purpose of providing work appropriate clothing and accessories free of charge to women from a variety of backgrounds for their entry or re-entry into the workforce.
Surplus items that are deemed unsuitable for WOW’s use will in the first instance be donated to other community groups whose primary focus is to assist disadvantaged women. Other items may be sold to provide additional funds to WOW for the purchase of items such as cosmetics, hosiery, clothing alterations and hair styling; providing a more holistic service to our clients. We will never sell any item appropriate for our organisation’s use and objectives.
Volunteering
We are also looking for volunteers. Volunteers perform a variety of roles:
- assisting clients in the boutique;
- sorting and racking donations;
- collecting clothes from donation points;
- fund raising; and
- promoting WoW to referring organisations and the community.
If you’d like to join us, then we’d love to hear from you.
